Also, I need to know where to start... I intend to pull the poor thing out of the field and onto a flatbed trailer with my other WD, and then haul it to town. But how to get it off the trailer and into the garage to work on it? (or into my own shed, if a few years pass and I am able to get my own place). I have an AC Manual that I bought for $6 from an antique tractor show a few years ago, but basically I just intend to start by taking off the sheet metal, taking out the spark plugs, and then pouring some transmission fluid onto the 4 cylinders, since I know they probably won't move - but I'll let them soak for probably a few months before anything major happens to the engine. I plan to take the hood off, then the exhaust manifold, and replace whatever needs doing there. Then the waterpump, radiator, and generator (unsure if I will go with 12 volt system or not). But figuring out the rear oil leak may be a tough one. I figure it's probably a seal I can only get to by splitting the tractor? I definitely need some sort of floor jack. Oh well, hopefully in a year or so I will have gotten somewhere on this project and can see what you guys think... Even if it was just to get the poor thing out of the field and somewhere that I can get it out of the weather and start working on it.
